Saint Louis Succumbing to Inclement Weather
I drove out to Ballwin, MO (Saint Louis County), last night, music kit all in the back. Driving down Manchester, I didn’t recognize my surroundings. I couldn’t figure out where this long stretch of nothing was, until I realized that it wasn’t nothing. It was a couple miles of Manchester Road with no power.
So, I drove back home, marveling at the power of a little rain and temperatures hovering around freezing to take out a few square miles of the power grid. When I arrived home, Krysta had already looked at the Ameren website to see that 130,000 were already without power.
I suppose after they hike our electric rates, they’ll use some of it to drag our little piece of the grid kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
Cheers! And, once again, stock up on water and duct tape.
